Literature Text

that day we walked along the freeway
cars rushed past
and blew your hair in circles

cars rushed past in mile-long arteries
blew our minds in circles
and we both were blushing

minds rushing in circles
we had trouble breathing
as we tried to talk

we were out of breath
yelling as we talked
over the rush of blood

yelling to each other
over the wind in our ears
but we couldn’t hear,

the noise in our ears was
louder than our voices
so we leaned in closer

louder than our voices
as we leaned in closer
rubbed our cheeks together

as we leaned in closer
rubbed our cheeks together
neared the intersection

and a moment just after
the lights turned red when
everything stopped
Figured I'd get back to posting some stuff. Mostly what's going on here right now is poetry from my applications to creative writing classes. I'm also a little disappointed that the "Traditional Fixed Forms" category is so specific, because it means I have to put this under "Free Verse," and it's really not.
